Goat (black bengal) (CVASU_BBG_1.0)

Goat (black bengal) assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The CVASU_BBG_1.0 assembly was submitted by Bangladesh Goat Genome Consortium (BGGC) and last updated on 2023-01-10. The assembly is on the chromosome level, consisting of 3696314 contigs assembled into 3972 scaffolds. The N50 size is the length such that 50% of the assembled genome lies in blocks of the N50 size or longer. The N50 length for the contigs is 819 while the scaffold N50 is 102339471.

Gene annotation

Genome annotation was generated using the Ensembl vertebrate annotation pipeline.

In accordance with the Fort Lauderdale Agreement, please check the publication status of the genome/assembly before publishing any genome-wide analyses using these data.
